    Well, you don't really know, unless you click it. You can't find the exact spot where your ad links lead to; I've tried it.

    You can click on your link units... you just can't click on the page it takes you to.

    the link ads are the most difficult to track even when using a click tracker the adlink often proved elusive

    sadly it tends to be a popular link to click however it also often gave the lowest payout .. often 1 . 2 or 3 cents

    certainly a MFA favourite

    yup , happening with me too , you can add all the mfas to competitive add filter list. for me all the mfas appeaning on the ad units are the same as the ones listed after one clicks link units so its an easy done thing.

    Links perform way better than regular ads for me, but yes sadly you can't track which one was clicked.

    well , adsblacklist.com is a start, however best way is to check the links userself using manually entering the urls . You can clearly see if the website is a genuine one or a mfa. usually such urls 1st-clothings.com, 1st-swimsuit.com top-10spot.com, top-bikini.biz

    I did the following. I put the title, text of the ad into google and found the websites, afterwards I blocked them in my filter.
